‘Grit’ exhibition highlights artists’ perseverance at Echo Contemporary

A new group exhibition titled 'Grit' opened at Echo Contemporary Art in Atlanta's Guardian Studios, featuring works by local artists across painting, illustration, sculpture, installation, tech-driven works, and a quilt by Evereman. Co-curated by Alfonso Alday Vergara of Alday Hunken Gallery, Melanie Shaw of ArtShare, and Kyle McNeill (aka BignPasty), the show explores the theme of perseverance in artistic practice. The opening night reception drew attendees, and the week-long exhibition includes additional programming such as an artists' conversation, live music, and a panel discussion with Hayley Smith of the SCOPE Art Show.
